That speech, the Iron Curtain speech by Churchill has to be one of the most insightfull and all encompassing post WWII speeches of all time, and serves as a tremendous history lesson in itself, that deserves to be read by a new generation of New Zealanders who need to reinterpret and update their sense of history in light of the new strategic challenges that we face today with both Russia and now China.

It has to rate, as historic inspiration, as good if not better than the reading of the Declaration of Independence itself, which I remember reading in Washington DC decades ago as a young man. Words that put in the backbone and provide the purpose for us all today.

Thank You Waltzing for bringing this to our attention.
